Before the session of the European Parliament opened today, #MEPs from different political groups plus @vonderleyen had one common message: "Solidarity with Hong Kong Democrats". #StandWithHongKong

BREAKING: the student union at McMaster University has passed a strong statement in support of the 12 HK youths.

Together with colleagues from @Europarl_EN, incl the cross-party informal Hong Kong Watch Group, we are calling on EU leaders to take a stronger stance towards #China on the situation in #HongKong, and to ensure that our words match our deeds

[Priti Patel MP @pritipatel]

On Sunday the UK will once again provide safe haven to those having the lights switched off on their liberty.

The new Hong Kong BN(O) visa delivers on our promise to the people of HK following China’s National Security Law.

I look forward to welcoming them to our great country.

🚨🚨As it happens🚨🚨
@jakejsullivan outlined the heft of liberal economies (>50% of the world), debunking the myth that the world economic cannot afford to stand up to China when it breaks contracts and violates human rights.

It is high time for democracies to act in unison.

[Fight For Freedom. Stand With Hong Kong. 重光團隊 @Stand_with_HK]

🚨As it happens🚨
@jakejsullivan pointed out China has been promoting their value model over USA's liberal one
In our view this demonstrates China is pursuing an ideological competition - that China is gunning for a 2nd Cold War, not the liberal world
It is Liberty vs Autocracy.

[Fight For Freedom. Stand With Hong Kong. 重光團隊 @Stand_with_HK]

🚨🇺🇸As it happens:
@jakejsullivan National Security Advisor to Biden administration just spoke on issues of #HongKong #Uyghur #Taiwan that they’re ‘prepared to act’, ‘impose costs for what China is doing in Xinjiang, HK’ and ‘for the bellicosity and threats... towards Taiwan’.

Chris Patten says “We cannot forget that the Chinese Communist party hates open societies and wishes to bury them. ....we cannot forget in liberal democracies the importance of standing up for ourselves and for what we believe in.” https://t.co/t43fdz9CEh

"The arrest of Grandma Wong is the latest assault on democracy and free expression in Hong Kong. It appears it is now a crime for pensioners to hold a protest sign at a pedestrian crossing."@benedictrogers https://t.co/dGBCnEwwJA

[Miriam M. Lexmann @MiriamMLex]

Today at #EPplenary, I made it clear:
It’s no longer sufficient to be concerned.
It is time for the EU to #act.
It is time to #defendfreedom.
It is time to #StandWithHongKong

🇪🇺🇨🇳Closing deals with #China when the crackdown in #HongKong and the suppression of #Uyghurs continue, is no responsible leadership nor strategic autonomy.

This house will scrutinize the #CAI and the human rights situation in China before approving this deal! @RenewEurope

[Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) @ipacglobal]

#IPAC 🇪🇺 co-chair @MiriamMLex MEP echoes concerns with #CAI:

"If the EU wants to be a credible actor and truly engage in values based foreign policy we must use our economic position as a leverage to support those who are oppressed, rather than reward human rights abusers."

[Engin Eroglu @EnginEroglu_FW]

Listening to my colleague & @ipacglobal co-chair @bueti speaking at the #HongKong debate at @Europarl_EN. He once again underlined that from what we know #HumanRights in #CAI are not satisfactory and need a review which I absolutely agree on ! ☝🏼

[Engin Eroglu @EnginEroglu_FW]

Thus, the ratification of the #CAI investment agreement must be conditional to a concrete and binding timetable and a clear commitment to end the crackdown on #HongKong, Tibet and #Xinjiang!

[Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) @ipacglobal]

European Parliament debates Urgency Resolution on crackdown on Hong Kong democratic opposition.

#IPAC 🇪🇺 co-chair @bueti MEP: EU-China #CAI investment deal does not meet minimum human rights standards, calls for EU to answer European Parliament concerns.

[DROI Committee Press @EP_HumanRights]

🔜 Starting at around 11.00 CET: #EPlenary will debate urgency resolutions on the situation in #HongKong 🇭🇰, Turkey 🇹🇷 and Vietnam 🇻🇳

Final votes later today.

It has been an honor to serve as the U.S. Secretary of State. Today, as I step down from this role as our nation’s top diplomat, I am proud of what we achieved — and I promise to never stop fighting for America #AmericaFirst 🇺🇸
